Chapter 3 Using AdeptWindowsPC
66 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev. B
Using AdeptWindowsPC
The AdeptWindows option provides a graphical user interface without the Video
Graphics Board (VGB). A PC running the AdeptWindowsPC software can be
connected to the Adept controller through either an Ethernet network or an
RS-232 serial connection (Ethernet is required when using the AdeptVision
system). Each Adept controller connected to a PC in this fashion requires the
AdeptWindows software license. See the for more
details.
Installing an ASCII Terminal (User Supplied)
If the controller does not have either a VGB or the AdeptWindows options, you
must supply the terminal and cable to interface to the controller. The terminal
must be a Wyse Model 60 or 75 with an
/'
keyboard, or a compatible terminal.
You may also be able to use a computer with suitable terminal emulation
software. For DOS or Windows-compatible computers, the programs
“ProComm+” and “ProComm for Windows” (available from many computer
stores) include software emulation for the Wyse-75. It is also possible to use ASCII
terminals (VT-100 compatible preferred). However, some functions such as the
SEE editor will be unusable.
Recommended Terminal for Systems Without a VGB
or AdeptWindowsPC
The recommended terminal for use with the Adept MV controller is the Wyse
WY-60. You must also specify that you require the Wyse ANSI/VT100 style
keyboard (Wyse p/n 900127-02 or 900128-02).
The WY-60 is also available with ASCII and IBM
Enhanced PC keyboards. These are NOT Adept-compatible. You
must make sure you order the correct keyboard. The WY-60 is
available in both 220V and 110V configurations, depending mainly
on the country you buy it in.
